I have been very pleased with Premier Orthopedics MVS. All of the staff listen carefully and seem to be interested in my health and healing.

I needed to be told that I might have a reaction to my injections. Last night, a little over a day after the procedure, my face got beet red, it puffed up, and was very hot. I took a Benadryl last night, but I was still experiencing those same symptoms this morning. I went to my Pharmacy and asked a pharmacist about this. He said it should pass and that I could take another Benadryl. My condition has gotten better. When I had one injection in my hip before, this never happened...too much of a good thing this time! I think very highly of Dr. James and will choose him again should I have similar symptoms in the future.

- 2 out of 5 starsReviewed on 10/17/2025
During my visit, I felt like I received information not treatment. I left feeling as though I was an inturreption in his day and a not so productive meeting for me. There was no follow up scheduled and I was only perscribed OTC medication. The information shared about my condition left me feeling fearful and unsure of what would happen next. The doctor and his staff were "professional" however, I am disappointed in the way the office visit went. It's almost like I was left to figure it out for myself.

I received a text message the next day saying my insurance had been processed and I owed a balance. Doesn't give any information at all- no date of service, no patient name, no details. I also pay my elderly mother's bills so this could be from one of her visits. Or maybe just a scam. Hard to believe my insurance was processed in one day. Not paying until I get more information.
- 5 out of 5 starsReviewed on 6/16/2025
Dr James is amazing. He truly seems to care about the well-being of his patients. He has worked me into his schedule at the last minute for injections several times so that I wouldn't need to wait for pain relief. He's kind, listens, and explains things well. Just one of many amazing docs at this practice!
